So there is not much to say about this two song single, other then it rocks, completely and utterly. Seriously, if their debut full length sounds this amazing then they should storm up the charts faster then a drop of water in the summer...yeah, that fast.
Its kinetic, its hyper and poppy and just plain rocking, the vocal delivery reminds me of At The Drive-In, while the music maintains a balance of quirky nostalgia created for clever hipsters and enough kick to save even the most jaded party monster. This is the kind of tunes that deserved a listen in the eighties, but here we are, and here it is, so dance with it like the worst of us.
This short disc is amazing.
